No default application when re-installing FCP

Good afternoon,
We installed a copy of FCP that we had to un-install. We tried to drag everything FCP related to the trash, but now when we try to re-install the software we're getting the message: "There's no default application specified to open the document Final Cut Studio.mpkg Do you want to Cancel or Choose Application"
What are my options here? I have a feeling I did not completely uninstall the program. Any suggestions on how to do that in addition to the error message are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
BV

Problem fixed. I re-installed the OS.

How to set a Photoshop version the default application when two versions are installed?

I have two versions of photoshop installed on my Mac. Double clicking on the Photo in Bridge CS6, the photo is opened in Photoshop CS5 (Photoshop CS5 (default). Haw can I set Photoshop CS6 as the default application?

Thanks for your prompt replay, I had already done what you suggested, but it does not work. When you open in Bridge File>Open with you still see Photoshop CS5 (default) and the file is opened automatically with Photoshop CS5 and not CS6 unless you specifically choose Open with Photoshop CS6. I vaguely remember that I found once somewhere "would you like Photoshop xxx to be your default option? but I cannot remember where and I cannot find it anymore

The system become very slow when I installed FCP X

Hi,all
Could anybody help to solve this problem?
MY OS X is 10.6.8, and When I installed the FCP X, it runed very slow. Each step would cost 10 sec. or even more to go over.
I use the lastest MAC Pro (QUARD 2.8GHz, 8GB, 2TB, ATI5800), so do not worry about the perfermance.
Moreover, how can I archive the project files and the events?
Thanks.

I am not sure about your speed issues, but you can find your project and event files in User/Movies/Final Cut Events and User/Movies/Final Cut Projects from there you can duplicate folders and files to backup your events and projects. Hope this helps.

Can't find iPhoto in bundled applications when re-installing Mac OS

Hi,
A system crash has required me to use my install disks to re-install my Mac OS. However, after re-install, iPhoto did not load - I've checked the "bundled" section of the install disks, but it's not there.
Any hints on how I can fix/find this?
Thanks

Bug? Wrong default application

I think I may have found a bug in Tiger related to assigning the correct default application.
Background:
Installed TurboTax Deluxe 2005.
Created a tax return file.
Exited TurboTax.
Double clicked tax return file.
TurboTax Deluxe 2004 is launched and returns an error trying to open the file.
What I have tried:
Performed get info on this year's and last year's returns.
File Type = TaxR; Creator = MIT5 for 2005, MIT4 for 2004
Dumped Launch services database using lsregister.
Everything looked OK, found out that Turbo also uses
an extension of "tax" for the tax return files
Rebuilt Launch services database using lsregister and problem still existed.
Added "tax" extension to 2005 tax return file and correct default application chosen.
Excerpt from Launch Services documentation on how the default application is chosen:
2. If the document has a filename extension (or if one has been specified as a parameter to LSGetApplicationForInfo), find all applications in the Launch Services database that claim to accept documents with that extension.
3. If the document carries a four-character file type (or if one has been specified as a parameter), find all applications that claim to accept files of that type.
4. If more than one application has been found as a result of steps 2–3, apply the following criteria in the order shown:
a. If the document carries a four-character creator signature (or if one has been specified as a parameter), give preference to any application that claims to accept documents with that signature (typically the application to which the signature belongs).
Conclusion:
The correct application is selected when an extension is used, but not when the choice is based on the file type. Therefore, I believe there to be a bug in default application selection base on file type and creator.
Does anyone see anything place I have gone wrong?
I know that when I installed TurboTax last year, it worked, so I'm not sure when this bug was born.

When you went to "Get Info," did you try expanding the "open with" section of the window to view the drop-down menu? This drop-down menu under "open with" should tell you which application is set to open the file by default. In that drop-down menu, you should select the newer version of your tax program. Then under "Use this application to open all documents like this," you should probably click the "Change All" button.
Not sure why the correct application wasn't assigned by OS X in the first place. But I don't know if what you're describing is really a "bug." See if you can set your newer app to be the default application using get info as described. Good luck.

How to set my default application for illustrator files (windows)

I have both illustrator CS3 and CS5 on my windows 7 machine. I want to keep both versions as CS3 is better for converting SVG files.
Windows has CS3 as the default application when opeing .svg files. but I want to change this to CS5. I have tried changing the default program in the normal way,
right click - open with - choose default program...
only CS3 is listed in the programs, so I navigate to CS5
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Support Files\Contents\Windows\illustrator.exe
but when I click ok, CS5 isn't added to the program list.
I have managed to change the default program for .ai and .eps files in this way and its workeds, but not with.svg files.
Any ideas?

This method still doen't work, it has the same problem as my original post.Bbut I did find a utiliy that works, here is the link in case anyone has the same problem.

Am running Tiger 10.4.11; just got Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (regular OS disk, not an upgrade); when I install Snow Leopard, will it wipe everything? overwrite Tiger? Do I need to make backups of applications and files to reinstall after Sno Lprd loads? thx!

Hi Donald,
No it doesn't erase anything by default, it does what we used to call an Archive and Install feature, which can give you a new OS, yet preserve your files and settings if you have enough room on your HD...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
But it does it automatically unless you specifically erase the Disk, but will replace Tiger completely for the OS & several Apple Apps like Safari, Mail, etc, yet preserve your old settings for those!
If you think you may need Tiger to run any APPs that do not work in SL/10.6, then clone or backup first.
I would recomend 2 things before installing though...
Make sure you have enough RAM & HD space.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the new Mac OS X SL/10.6 Install Disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

You need to be more specific about which software applications you're using, the versions and what happens when you try to open them.
It would also be nice if you could include which model MacBook Air you're using.

I recently downloaded / installed FCP X before reading to NOT install it on a volume containing a previous version of FCP. I installed FCP X in the same Applications folder as FCP v6. I have moved FCP 6 to the trash, but now, should I reinstall FCP X?

Hi Andy, You say that when installing FCP X the old FCP should move to a new folder called Final Cut Studio. I have just installed FCP X Trial and checked in the applications folders and nothing has changed. Final Cut Pro is where it has always been.
Hmm. I din't have experience of the trial version - maybe it doesn't move legacy FCP.
Make a new folder (Final Cut Studio) in the Applications folder, and drag FCP there.
I have also found that the sound effects in FCP X keep disappearing and I need to re start FCP X for them to appear again. This has happened several times today.
This could be a case of a conflict with Final Cut Pro. What do you think?
I doubt it, but FCP X is a fickle application.
If moving FCP doesn't fix it, post a new topic to ask about this.

Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos. I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.

When I install itunes I received an error message like this:The exception unknown software exception (0Xc06007e) ocurred in the application at location 0x7c812afb. After the installation the computer is showing the message every time.

If you update your QuickTime Player, does that clear up the iTunes message?

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

I keep receiving this error: "the application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem" when trying to update program that use adobe AIR (vudu-to-go)

Can anyone tell me how I can get around this error? I've tried reinstalling adobe air and reinstalling the programs but neither works.

This issue happens when an older version of Adobe Story is already installed on a system.
To resolve this issue you will have to first remove that version and then install the latest one.
Now depending upon which system you are using, below are the steps:
MAC:
Open 'Applications' folder in Finder.
Move 'Adobe Story' application to Trash and remove it from Trash too.
Just to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive, do a search for 'Adobe Story' in spotlight. If it is present on a different location, then remove it from there too.
Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it.
WINDOWS:
Open Controls Panel and uninstall Adobe Story application
Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it
